An incredible simulator of politics. It's not just sliding bars and making numbers go up and down. There is a story to be invested in, and every choice feels meaningful. No matter what type of political path you pursue, you will find yourself wondering if you've done the right thing time and time again. Your choices matter. and even the seemingly small decisions can have impacts later. The characters have nuanced politics too, it usually isn't so cut and dry as someone being a "conservative" or "socialist" and following their ideology to the letter. Even the characters I disagreed with extensively I found myself working with at times. The game also has interesting lore and world-building; Much to offer for those curious about realistic fictional worlds. It isn't all just paperwork and policies either. You have to balance your personal relationships, your family, your connections, your investments, etc. This game utilizes interactive storytelling and political simulation very effectively. Strongly recommend.
